I am almost embarrassed to bring this up.
In addition to monitoring the forum, I usually keep two or three tabs open at the same time. Usually, craigslist, and ebay. While watching TV, or enjoying my morning coffee, I often toggle back & forth between sites, depending on what grabs my attention. On craigslist, and ebay, (and many other sites)once you click on a picture, you can use your "arrow" keys to run through posted pictures. On our forum, you must click on each thumb pic individually. However, I have become so accustomed to using the arrow keys on other sites so much, that I find myself habitually trying the same for multiple pics posted on our forum.

This is not a huge problem, and more of a tiny irritant.
However, if it does not require "trip to the moon" technology, or effort, I wonder if our forum could be upgraded/configured to where the arrow keys could be utilized to quickly toggle through multiple pics in a post?
It would bring picture viewing seamlessly in line with how pics are switched and viewed with other sites.
I don't know if anyone else has wondered about this, or even cares. For someone who remembers a Grandmother who washed clothes outdoors in a black cast iron wash-pot, killed & plucked her chickens for lunch, milked the cow, churned butter...I feel like the spoiled kid impatiently standing before a microwave oven shouting HURRY UP!
If we never get this little feature, it won't keep me away. Having this forum is still the best fun I have had with a computer.
